Jeez, talk about conflicted writing. The author apparently doesn't care for Huckabee's politics, yet he NEEDS to know the ridiculous minutia of his laptop purchase. This is about the same as creating a news story by digging through a celebrity's trash can.

And in related news, Himmler liked Shakespeare.
Politics trumps tech, Cyrus.

Wow, when a corny two-bit huckster like Mike Huckabee buys an Apple computer, you know the brand has hit the consumer mainstream.
Note: I'm a political conservative, I can't stand Mike Huckabee, and I approved this message.

Man, the intolerance to other views on this site is astounding.

This thread is for comments pertaining to the article. All 'why is this news?' comments should go in [c-2011].

Schneb,
I think the apparently intolerant pall on the article and some of the responses is a result of the author invoking political comments three times in a thirteen-sentence story, while only using the word "switched" twice. At some point the story stops being a Mac story and becomes a political statement.

I like Mike Huckabee and agree with his political views. I also defend the right of those who disagree to have their say on this forum. I just hope we can all agree to disagree without being disagreeable about it.

Mac007,
I don't agree :P
Anyway, as a determined independent, I'm heartened that not all Mac users can be so easily pigeonholed.

How can you be smart enough to get a Mac and dumb enough to not believe in evolution? I give you Mike Huckabee.
